Pros

Market leader with great growth prospects for the future Unique position - ecommerce retail leader but vertically integrated and makes their own physical products. Great chance to understand both sides of the house Relatively small size but with the stability of a public company - have found it easy to change roles and grow responsibility Executive team is among the best I've worked for - clear vision & strategy for the company, paired with focus on day to day execution

Cons

Two locations - Redwood City and Sunnyvale (soon to be Santa Clara) so depending on your role you can spend some quality time on 101 going back & forth No 401k match Extremely cross-functional and matrixed org structure - can take longer to get things done at times than the should

Pros

The company is building a portfolio of premium brands and is willing to invest in technology, product, and marketing to support the growth. Consumer-focused, action-oriented work force: company culture is about winning in the market and making a difference in our customers' lives.

Cons

Multiple corporate locations (Shutterfly run out of Redwood City, Tiny Prints / Wedding Paper Divas out of Sunnyvale, MyPublisher out of NYC) places a premium on communication in order to coordinate across brands and functions.
